FHM's 2012 Sexiest Women - Who Ladies
Not something I'd normally post but at least two of the girls from Doctor Who made the list ...
91: Jenna-Louise Coleman
Full name: Jenna-Louise Coleman
DOB: April 27, 1986
Place of birth: Blackpool, England
Occupation: Actress
Jenna-Louise Coleman facts
Set to play The Timelord's new companion in Doctor Who, debuting in this year's Christmas special.
Currently best-known for being the village vicar's bisexual niece Jasmine Thomas in Emmerdale.
Nominated for Best Newcomer at the British Soap Awards and National Television Awards in 2007.
Made her Hollywood debut in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger opposite Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones.
Jenna-Louise started out at the Edinburgh Fringe, so clearly is a proper, like, actress and that. She was set to go to drama school before Emmerdale snapped her up - making her one of the only reasons to watch the yokel-based soap for four years.
It seems being a telly sex-pot, having on-screen affairs with a father and daughter combo, and then taking down a bad cop The Wire-style (brrrap brrrap), has left potential suitors bricking it about trying to pull her. "I used to get chatted up more before I was in the show [Emmerdale]," she says, "now I think guys are too shy."
Jenna-Louise is certainly not shy when it comes to partying. "I'll go out and have a wild big night out," she says. We're off down Nando's and then to The Crown for some cheap Sam Smith's pints later Jenna-Louise. If you fancy that you're more than welcome to join us.
So if your nieces and nephews make you watch Doctor Who in 2013, you won't have to spend the entire time surfing Twitter on your phone. We'll even tolerate the oversized stick puppet that is Matt Smith if he's propped up next to Jenna-Louise.
36: Karen Gillan
Full name: Karen Sheila Gillan
DOB: November 28, 1987
Place of birth: Inverness, Scotland
Occupation: Actress, Model
Her History in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women

Karen Gillan facts
Karen is best known for her role as Amy Pond in Doctor Who.
Her cousin - Caitlin Blackwood - plays the young version of Amy on the show.
She can play the piano, and went to the prestigious Italia Conti academy in London but dropped out for a part and ended up pulling pints in Kennington.
She's also appeared in James Nesbitt's 2010 film Outcast.
"Paranormal activity scares me. If I'm at home on my own and trying to sleep, I can get quite freaked out and need to look around every few seconds."
Why we love Karen Gillan
Karen Gillan might well be a Scottish redhead, but don’t go stereotyping her any further. Having done a bunch of modelling gigs - including one for the similarly flame haired Nicola Roberts’ make-up range - she showed up as part of the cast on The Kevin Bishop Show and nailed a parody of Katy Perry’s I Kissed A Girl amongst other things. See, she’s funny too. And no, she didn’t do it as a ginger Katy Perry.
After that you might have seen Karen Gillan in one of the lead roles of The Well, which was broadcast on BBC Two and then later online when it wasn’t considered good enough to have a slot on the terrestrial channel. Allegedly. She obviously still impressed though, as her next permanent role was her current one: that of Amy Pond - The Doctor’s companion in Doctor Who. Yeah, that made the Christmas special that saw her star alongside Katherine Jenkins one to watch.
It wasn’t Karen Gillan first appearance on the show either, having made one before as a totally different character in an earlier episode. Nowadays she spends a lot of time in the TARDIS travelling around with the Doc. If FHM had one of those we’d come up with Microsoft before Gates. And Google, Facebook, YouTube and EBay while we’re at it. Plus we’d be able to win a shedload on accumulators even if we couldn’t do anything about our team’s results. We’d probably have a word about the existence of Justin Bieber and Jedward too.

Overall, it's an odd list.
